If you’re sitting on the October Surprise please share it. All the evidence we have suggests that Harris wants a ceasefire. While Trump wants a christo-fascist dictatorship and is content to watch Israel complete its genocide. The candidates have distinct positions despite your argument’s attempt to conflate the two.
Problem is that public statements are one thing, actions are another. And politicians are known to make great many statements they then contradict by their actions.
She could have publicly renounced the Israeli government instead of defending it.
She could have voted against and started voting initiatives to stop weapon sales and military aid.
She could have went to court to sue the government if Biden was reluctant. The arms sales are illegal by US law, as Israel is known to attack US and international humanotaroan aid
She could have made a point of opposing Netanyahu when he was in congress instead of just not being there.
She could have threatened to step down as VP and followed through with it, once she became candidate.
She could have let Palestinian Americans speak at the DNC convention instead of silencing them, while giving Families of Israeli hostages a place to speak. This was the bare minimum to do, unless clearly picking the side of Zionism.
Then the party establishment had two options:
Either they would have fallen in line, winning the election and accepting that genocide is a no go for Harris.
Or they could have tried to oust her, knowing that it would cost them the election, or create so much push back that she remains as candidate and gets to toss them out.
Keep moving those goalposts. Btw, I hope this is literally your job because wow. 4 hour old account, and since jumping on this morning, you have been EVERYWHERE.
At the moment: 40 comments in 4 hours. All about one thing. Nice.

What actions would you have a vice president take? What exactly do you think she has the power to do right now?
Then the party establishment had two options:
There you go bringing facts and rationality into a bOTh sIDes debate. Bold move.
Hey look more “fact and rationality”:

But sure, she’s “calling for a ceasefire”. Are you really that guillible or just bad faithed?
Hey you want some facts and rationality?

Harris should be in jail.
ROFL! Harris should be in jail?
For what exactly? I’d LOVE to see this. Please. If you would, explain in detail.
So, tell everyone that you don’t know what the VP does without saying it.
Did you mean to respond to someone else with this?

Please explain how the Vice President is to blame for this.
Sooo… Harris is president? I don’t think you understand how any of this works.
So she called for a ceasefire back in March? and then in July? And then in September?
That doesn’t sounds very effective does it?
